Breathing in 2011

Maybe this year I will just post on the first day of the month!  Ha!!  It is funny, I can go through periods where a blog post come into my head every day, and then times when I forget I have a blog.  :-)  I want to develop my writing, and to do so, I need to write everyday.  EVERY. DAY. hmmmmmm.........

I just reread my post for the beginning of 2011.  It seems that I was very prescient.  "Let go."  Wow, who knew those 2 little words could have such an impact on my life.  I wrote that I would like to "Let go" more in 2011.  Well, almost immediately, I have been provided with many opportunities to practice.  And well, let's just say my grade right now is in the "D" range.

I have written about these same areas so many times.  I have struggled with them so many times.  And I get so angry at myself now because once again I am giving my power away.  Once again I am allowing fear to rule my thoughts and emotions.  Once again.....so I am not going to write about them here.  I am not going to let these issues reign in my life.

I am going to breathe in...................and feel my body filling with oxygen and air
then as I slowly exhale.....................I will let those fears go
breathe in............................feel my body expanding
exhale.........................let the betrayals go
breathe in.....................and listen to the silence as I hold
then exhale....................let those people go
breathe in.....................and feel my heart beating
exhale........................let go of the bitterness
breathe in...........................feel the warmth spreading
exhale........................let go of the negative
breathe in.................feel the positive energy
exhale.......................let the pain go
breathe in...................feel the healing begin.

How about you?  Do you have something you just can't let go?  Does it creep into your life continually?  How do you handle it?

For now, I'll just keep breathing........

  1. I don't want to control I want to just be. Being seems to be very difficult these days and control doesn't feel any better it used to so I am inbetween and all I want is to be. I will try as you are trying to breath.
